Build Overview

This Build is an Endgame Setup for the Invoker Ascendancy using Lightning Arrow for Clear and Lightning Rod, Tornado Shot and Barrage for Bossing.

Cadiro's Gambit is a Core Unique of this Build, providing us with the occasional 600% increased Rarity Arrow and 5 other very strong Versions of it.

With the use of Rhoa Mount, the Build boasts high mobility, very satisfying and screenwide clear with the help of Herald of Thunder and Cast on Shock, and also very high Single Target DPS with our Lightning Rod Combo.

Due to the Build being an Evasion/Energy Shield Hybrid, it also feels pretty tanky with over 50% Evasion, 3000+ Energy Shield and Wind Dancer adding another incredible defensive Layer.

If you have any Questions or Suggestions about the Build, feel free to tune into my Stream at twitch.tv/DEADRABB1T where I stream every day.

Cadiro's Gambit is our Quiver (Not in Mobalytics yet)

Core Uniques:

Cadiro's Gambit Quiver (ideally with %increased Damage Enchant)
Astramentis ( Anoint: Pure Power and ideally with a "All Elemental Resistances" Enchant)
Hand of Wisdom and Action (Corrupted 1-12 Flat Lightning Damage per 20 Intelligence)
Headhunter
Heroic Tragedy (Vorana)

Item Priorities with Stat Priorities in Order:

Gemini Bow: 2 Additional Arrows -> Crit Chance -> High Physical Damage -> Elemental Damage
Body Armour: High Evasion Rating and Energy Shield -> Intelligence -> Resistances
Rings: Flat Damage (Lightning is a must) -> Intelligence -> Dexterity -> Resistances
Helmet: High Energy Shield -> Critical Hit Chance -> Intelligence -> Resistance
Boots: High Energy Shield -> Intelligence -> Resistances

This Version of the Build requires 240 Spirit overall for the use of Herald of Thunder, Cast on Shock, Cast on Freeze, Rhoa Mount and Wind Dancer.

If you cannot get to the 240, the priority of the Spirit Gems are as follows:

Herald of Thunder (30 Spirit)
Cast on Shock (60 Spirit)
Rhoa Mount (60 Spirit)
Wind Dancer (30 Spirit)
Cast on Freeze (60 Spirit)

If the Budget for your Body Armour cannot provide you with the 140 extra Spirit, just loose the Cast on Freeze Skill Gem which frees up 60 Spirit to take it down to 180 Spirit needed overall.

Socketables on Gear:

Gemini Bow: Countess Seske's Rune of Archery (Expensive) or Saqawal's Rune of the Sky
Body Armour: Greater Iron Rune
Helmet: Greater Iron Rune
Boots: Farrul's Rune of the Chase or Greater Iron Rune
